We would rather have plenty of time to print your job but we can get out a "rush order" if at any time a customer requests us to do so. The RED CLOUD CHIEF PRINTERS and PUBLISHERS "Not how cheap but how good." Owing to tho prcsont scarcity of beau seed, the Extension Service of the College of Agriculture has secured two carloads of teed for sale at cost to all who wish to buy. Beans are In great demand for seed because many persons arc planning to grow tjiem as an emergency "war crop" and becauso they are a good crop to replace winter killed wheot. So loug a9 the supply lasts, tho Ex tension Service will book orders for bean seed. The prlco will not exceed 22 cents a pound for Navy beans and 18 cents n pound for Pinto beans. The price for Navy beans is f. o. b. I Incoln and for Pluto beans f. o. b. Sidney or somo point not farther west than Den ver. The Navy beans nro from Michi gan and tho pinto beans from Colora do. A statement just issued by Professor C. V. Pugsloy, Director of Extension Sorvico, follows: "We are having many inquiries for Navy and Pinto bean seed. Pinto beans aro especially adapted to central and western Nebraska. We have made an effort to locate bean seed in quan titles and have succeeded in locating n limited amount. The seed is very scarce nnd it will bo necessary to book the orders at once In case wo aro to take advantage of tho prices quoted. When the bcana are laid down It may be found possible to scale the price a few cents a pound. The seed Is. being located by the College of Agriculture (Nebraska) for sale to farmers at cost. "It Is necessary that cash accompany tho orders, and in case tho orders can not bo filled, the cash will be returned and the party notified nt once. 1 would suggest that the beans be order ed in ciuantlties, a number of farmers clubbing together. This will reduce shlpplntr charges and will also reduce expense In handling tho beans." "Orders may be seut to the Exten sion Service, College of Agriculture, Lincoln. No dellnito date for delivery can be given, but within a few days we hope to be notlliod of the approximate date of delivery. Bean seed is advanc ing very rapidly In price, and our or ders for two cars could only be placed subject to the ability of parties to lo cate beans." V A new circular on "'Bean Culture," Emergency Ilulletin No. 4. has just been Issued by the Extension Service. It will be sent free upon request.

Reasonable Charges Bids Farewell to Booze Promptly (?) at eight o'clock p. m. on Monday of this week Old John Bar ley Corn bade all his Nebraska friends a last farewell and left for other climes and after the smoke of battle clears awav many of the old "hard hitters" wlU begin to wonder where they can secure just one.more drink to steady their nerves. No doubt' many of the boys will have a supply laid by for a rainy day, but when that is exhausted they will be compelled to resort to peruna, extracts and other mixtures containing a few drops of tho Urey fluid. ' Our sister state, Kansas, is classed among the drys, but after witnessing tho procession of J nutos headed nortli during the past ten days we have been lead to wonder just how dry Kansas renly Is at presout. It was interesting to see the large number of citizens of this community who iu tho past few days havo realized that they had various business deals that required their pcrsuuul attention, up at Hastings, and judging from tho uppeorancc many of them presented upon their return home wo know that the devoted their entiro attention to that particular business transaction while ill that city.

You may think this is too small a loss to amount to much, but when you figure that it happens twice a day, 365 days a year, you will find that a De Laval Separator would save its cost every six mouths over any kind oi "gravity " skimming and every year over any inferior or worn out separator. Get a clean skimming JLIZj LirVrLi Separator as soon as yon can and get all the money that Is coming to you from the product of your cows. Wc can make you a liberal allowance for your present separator, if yon have one, and, if more convenient for you, can also arrange for a partial payment at time of purchase and balance on easy payments. If you want to see for yourself just how much more cream you can get with a De Laval let us set up a machine for you and have you try it out for yourself.
